Seeing my age is scary

[deephiance]

I am 40 in four years and as strange as it sounds I am not frightened about reaching that age.

I wasn't too worried about 40 either, BUT heading up to 50 mortality is becoming more a reality.

I went to a school reunion last month and the people I wanted to see had all passed on, some as young as their earlier twenties, most of natural causes.

Also at 50 you feel closer to 70 than 30, it's weird and a little bit scary
